petitioner nos.1 and 4 are father-in-law and mother-in-law and other

petitioners are the brother of the informant’s husband and his wife. It

another man and the family members used to object, so she lodged

this false case, even during investigation the independent witnesses

petitioners, so this case was filed maliciously. Contrary to that the

learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State submits that there is

allegation of subjecting the informant to cruelty by the petitioners and
